Right, so what have we got in issue 65 for you? Answer – loads! Our cover star is top funny man Mark James who explains his rise from the humblest of performing beginnings through to the busy and successful entertainer that he is today. Mark is a comedy stage/stand up performer, but we also feature at the illusion end of the scale Craig Christian whose fabulous show causes a stir wherever he goes. We also catch up with Matthew Wright to discover how his specially created show in Spain is getting on, and we (perhaps rashly!) give Chris Congreave the chance to rule the world for a short while and tell us what he would do with all that power!

Want to get insider info on amps and microphones? Well, we offer you a terrific detailed article by Brian Foshee which will give you all the top tips that you need to get you started. We also take a look at what it is that makes the top performers successful to see if there are any lessons to be learned (yes there are!), and if you fancy a laugh we treat you to ‘explanations’ of some common magical terms which may leave you more confused than you were before you started!

All this plus a ton of product reviews, the final instalment of Jez Rose’s Devant To Dynamo mini series, background info on the Jeff McBride Mystery School that’s coming to the UK in 2016 and much more. So tuck in and gorge yourself on it all, you know you want to.
